TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said Washington would never attack Iran because it doesn�t have the capability and is deeply fearful of the consequences of such an attack.


"The US doesn�t have the capability to launch a military attack against Iran and knows that in such a case, the damage and blows that it will have to sustain will be way beyond its merits and gains," Fadavi said, addressing a ceremony in the Central city of Yazd on Sunday.


"Now, 26 years after the Iraqi-imposed war (against Iran 1980-1988 which was supported by Washington), the US is aware that it cannot launch an offensive against the Islamic Iran and is sure that the Iranians enjoy very high power and capability to confront it," he added.


His remarks came after Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei underlined that enemies never dare to launch a military attack against Iran, otherwise, they will face the Iranian Armed Forces' crushing response.


"Sometimes, they threaten us with war and bombing, but these statements are nonsense overstatement since they aren�t prepared and don�t dare to do so and if, possibly, they embark on such an act, they will receive a slap in the face and a crushing response," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing members of Iranian Students' Islamic Association in Tehran on Wednesday.


He, meantime, warned of enemies' soft war against Iran, and said, "Now a comprehensive and creeping soft war is underway on the youth between the Islamic Republic of Iran on one hand and the US, the Zionists and their followers on the other hand."


Ayatollah Khamenei has for a long time underscored the enemies' incapability and lack of courage to attack Iran.


In relevant remarks in 2014, he stressed the Iranian nation and Armed Forces� preparedness to defend the country, and said the enemies will never dare to take military action against Iran.


In a meeting with senior Iranian officials, Ayatollah Khamenei said that Israel's military threats against Iran are constantly repeated but the United States prevents Tel Aviv from launching a strike.


�The reason for the US� prevention (of an Israeli attack against Iran) is that (it) does not see the attack affordable and we also strongly emphasize that a military attack on the Islamic Republic is not affordable for any one,� the Leader said.


Ayatollah Khamenei said that arrogant powers have no more options against Iran except for military threats and sanctions.


�Enemy�s hand is empty in both fields of sanctions and threats,� the Leader said.


Iran�s Leader stressed that the enemies have so far failed to confront the Islamic Republic of Iran.
